Hi guys,

What I am trying to do is to set up alerting for physical memory high utilization for windows server 2008/2012.

I can see that, there is already a rule called "Percent Memory Used" under both windows 2008/2012 Operating System, however, it doesn't seem to have a threshold defined. So I am trying to create a new one and set up a desired threshold for alerting and health state. But I can' t see the performance counter - PercentMemoryUsed under Object - Memory when creating a new rule or a new monitor, however, I was able to choose this counter when I created either a performance view or performance report.

Below are two screenshots:

 1. one is to create a performance report - I am able to see this performance counter

 2. one is to create a new rule - not able to see the performance counter

Any one can shed some lights , your help is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Hubery

This counter came from the performance rule definition and not from windows performance counter.
